Method and system for an internet protocol lnb supporting positioning

A method, comprising:

• in an Internet protocol low noise block downconverter (IP LNB) that is within a satellite reception assembly:
• determining based on signals received from at least two different sources, location information and corresponding time information of said IP LNB;
• and
• communicating said determined location information and said corresponding time information to a wireless communication device communicatively coupled to said IP LNB;
• wherein said location information is configured to enable said wireless communication device to determine its location based on said determined location information and said corresponding time information.

A system, comprising:

• an Internet protocol low noise block downconverter (IP LNB) within a satellite reception assembly, said IP LNB comprising at least one processing circuit for processing data and at least one communication circuit for use in communication of signals, wherein said IP LNB is operable to:
• determine based on signals received from at least two different sources, location information and corresponding time information of said IP LNB;
• and
• communicate said determined location information and said corresponding time information to a wireless communication device communicatively coupled to said IP LNB;
• wherein said location information is configured to enable said wireless communication device to determine its location based on said determined location information and said corresponding time information.
